I am so excited to announce that I co-wrote a book called Self-Directed DBT Skills. And the ebook is available today!!! https://t.co/D6aGfeAS0x #DBT #CBTworks #selfhelp

[Kiki Fehling, PhD, DBT-LBC @dbtkiki]

@williamspsych Thank you!

[Kiki Fehling, PhD, DBT-LBC @dbtkiki]

My new deck of DBT skill coping cards is out and available today! Written for therapists, DBT clients/graduates, and anyone interested in DBT but not yet willing to commit to a full DBT workbook (or actual DBT). https://t.co/cWL5S86Qz3

[Kiki Fehling, PhD, DBT-LBC @dbtkiki]

I hope they support you on your DBT journey! If they do, let me know. 💙

[Kiki Fehling, PhD, DBT-LBC @dbtkiki]

Some cards are like flashcards, reviewing DBT skill acronyms and info. Some cards provide ideas for how to cope with specific experiences—anxiety, self-disgust, splitting, people-pleasing, and more. Altogether, they offer tons of ways to practice DBT-inspired coping.

Feeling alone is one of the hardest parts of emotional suffering. NMN's team is made up of folks w lived experience of suicidal thoughts, addiction, depression, grief, & other mental health struggles. We share openly, hoping that others won't have to suffer as much as we have.

Reposting because the study is still recruiting! 🏳️‍🌈
LGBTQ+ folks (who have ever been in DBT) needed for research

[Kiki Fehling, PhD, DBT-LBC @dbtkiki]

New research alert! LGBTQ folks who are currently in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, used to be in DBT, or are on a waitlist for DBT: your voices are needed to help make #DBT services more LGBTQ-affirmative 🏳️‍🌈 https://t.co/Y9DqyXtFqd

Current/Past DBT clients: DBT needs your help!

@PortlandDBTI is doing important research on phone coaching, and they want feedback from real DBT clients. If you want to participate (or read more about the study), check out the survey here: https://t.co/ao0IKXEesP

[Kiki Fehling, PhD, DBT-LBC @dbtkiki]

@swkasparek Yes, exactly! ❤️ The more queer clients I've worked with, the more I've discovered the joy of being my authentic self in (and out) of the therapy room. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm exactly the therapist some people want/need. Same for every therapist!

[Kiki Fehling, PhD, DBT-LBC @dbtkiki]

Attn BIPOC folks in California who want to learn #DBT skills!

[Kiki Fehling, PhD, DBT-LBC @dbtkiki]

@AntGalasso Thanks for reading/sharing! Glad it resonated.

ok this was a joke 3+ years ago, but 100+ talks, many papers, and a book on single-session interventions later, I can formally confirm that a forehead tattoo would be my best bet for getting this across 🙃
